[00:00:00] --- lesson 32 shopping made easy

[00:00:06] --- first listen and then answer the question.

[00:00:12] --- who was the thief?

[00:00:16] people are not so honest as they once were.

[00:00:20] the temptation to steal is greater than ever before -- especially in large shops.

[00:00:28] a detective recently watched a well-dressed woman who always went into a large store on monday mornings.

[00:00:37] one monday, there were fewer people in the shop than usual when the woman came in,

[00:00:44] so it was easier for the detective to watch her.

[00:00:49] the woman first bought a few small articles.

[00:00:54] after a little time, she chose one of the most expensive dresses in the shop and handed it to an assistant who wrapped it up for her as quickly as possible.

[00:01:08] then the woman simply took the parcel and walked out of the shop without paying.

[00:01:15] when she was arrested, the detective found out that the shop assistant was her daughter.

[00:01:24] the girl 'gave' her mother a free dress once a week!

[00:01:30] --- end
